Chapter 409 Mountain Climbing! Challenge Yourself! Break the Limit!

"What?"

Serila flapped her wings and suddenly raised her head.

The faint smell of rain and coniferous forests drifts down in the wind. Looking up into the distance, thin clouds and mist lingered on the mountainside, blocking the view, and the aunt and her husband could not be seen. Serila raised her head and shouted:

"Auntie, they are my friends!"

"I know...come up..."

The voice was ethereal. Cerela grabbed a handful of rocks angrily, and the stone as big as a human head disintegrated under her feet, and the bones rolled down. Damn it, I have to listen to my aunt’s words, mainly because I’m carrying two people, and with my aunt’s pressure, I can’t fly to the top...

She did not return to her human form, her slender neck bent down, and she came close to Gretel:

"Gretel, wait here, I'll go find my aunt! - Huh, my friend, I can't even bring him here myself!"

With a flap of his wings, a strong wind whipped up and he flew high. Dive into the clouds and disappear.

On the platform outside the dragon's nest, a much taller silver dragon lay there waiting quietly. Serila restrained her wings and swooped down, almost hitting her head-on. She stopped hard at the last moment:

"Aunt, aunt! They are my friends, why did you let them climb the mountain by themselves! I don't want you to pick them up, I will take them up myself~~~I will be angry if you don't agree! I will just leave with them! I Let’s go now!”

Her long neck rested on the older silver dragon's shoulder and neck, rubbing against each other and making a lot of noise. The older man lay quietly on the platform and let her act coquettishly. After a while, the dragon's claw lifted up and threw a shining magic crystal:

"Auntie is doing it for his own good. Besides, this is also the request of his elders. I just follow it. Then, take a look~~~"

Cerela muttered and took the magic crystal. Magic power was input, and soon, a figure floated up and spoke:

"Dear Lady Ophelia..."

If it hadn't been for the request, the silver dragon Ophelia really wouldn't have done anything to embarrass Gretel. Long before the little mage set foot in the wilderness, even before he and Cerela left the royal court and set off northward, he had entered the sight of the silver dragons.

Silver dragons are different from five-color dragons. They have a more familial concept and take better care of their young. Newborn dragonets will not be kicked out of the nest when they are young, but will stay with their parents until they are teenagers before leaving their parents to travel.

Teenagers walking outside are not alone. They often receive support and help from their parents and elders. Naturally, the human mage who saved the little princess Yuehui and stayed by his side had been observed by more than one adult dragon in various ways before he knew it.

A low-level mage who is also a priest of the God of Nature. In the dwarf king's court, on the way north, cure diseases and save people, cure diseases and save people, cure diseases and save people...

Try your best and don’t reject anyone who comes.

It can be said that he has quite an appetite for Silver Dragon. Even if there is no introduction from Serila, the silver dragons will still welcome them to visit the dragon nest directly.

but.

but……

The silver dragon Ophelia turned her head and glanced at the magic crystal. This was sent by a certain legendary mage from the Magic Council just a month ago. The purpose was to ask her to take care of the little guy. Give him some pressure and let him advance quickly. Don't linger on level 4!

As we all know, climbing the dragon's nest with the dragon's power is a good way to face pressure and challenge yourself. The advantage is that it is gradual and the risks are controllable. The intelligent race near Ophelia, the young mountain eagles, often come to climb when they have nothing to do.

As for the shortcomings, the shortcoming is that the popularity of this method is too low. Finding the dragon's nest is already difficult. Once you find it, the dragon is willing to sit back and watch you climb up instead of knocking you down with a magic spell. Unless you are familiar with the dragon, the chance is infinitely close to zero...

Cerira read and read the information in the magic crystal again and again. After tossing and turning several times, she threw back the magic crystal and flapped her wings twice:

"Then...Auntie, should I go down now and crawl with them in human form?"

"What do you think?"

"Woo..."

At the foot of the mountain, Grete flipped the space bag upside down and took out all the equipment. Food, water bags, leggings, trekking poles with wrist straps... In preparation for climbing the Dwarf Holy Mountain, I didn’t have all the equipment I needed at the time, but I didn’t expect that I would use them all here!

As for Cerela taking them up, Grete had no hope at all considering the comparison in combat power between adult dragons and young dragons. Sure enough, after a while, a long gust of wind blew down, and the familiar voice of the silver dragon girl came:

"Grete, I was imprisoned by my aunt... Climb up by yourself. Come on, it's not difficult! My aunt said that even an ordinary person with perseverance can reach the top in three days at most! I'll be waiting for you on the mountain!"

About three days. In a previous life, I climbed Mount Everest, starting from the North Slope Base Camp and climbing to the top in four days. Gretel was thinking, if you can climb the Dragon's Nest from here, you don't need to climb more than 3,000 meters, right?

Besides, the pressure of climbing more than 3,000 meters on flat ground is absolutely different from climbing more than 3,000 meters on a 5,000-meter plateau! He stands here without any altitude sickness at all!

Climb!

Grete put on his leggings, carried a water bag and a food bag, and prepared to open the way. Holding the hiking pole in his hand and the oak staff of the God of Nature in his right hand, he stepped onto the hillside in one step. A few tree roots quietly poked out from the bottom of the oak staff, ready to plunge into the cracks of the rock to save the master at any time.

By the way...which way is the way to climb the mountain?

"Gretel, look over there!"

The savage raised his arms high. Gretel stood on tiptoe to take a look and was happy.

There is a cone-shaped pile of rocks on the hillside not far away. A branch was inserted at the top of the pile of rocks. Under the branch, a triangular stone was painted ocher, with the sharpest corner pointing directly up the mountain.

Gee, isn’t this a road sign?

"Bernard, let's go!"

"Wait a minute, boss, I'll go in front of you to clear the way!"

"This... you should walk behind me. If I miss the mark, you can still stop me..."

After being trained on the Dwarf Holy Mountain, this level of mountaineering was completely beyond Gretel's grasp. Although his back ached due to lack of exercise, he still had the strength to climb up after a night's rest. However, when I climbed to noon the next day, I was out of breath, my heart was beating like thunder, and I could no longer lift my feet.

"Damn it...is this a high reaction...Bernard, let me take a break and let me take some oxygen..."

Among the huge rocks on the top of the mountain, Ofelia was lying in the hall of the dragon's lair, curiously looking at the light curtain in front of her. Grete took out an arm-long tin can from his space bag, unscrewed the lid, and buried his face in the mask in front of the tin can. He breathed heavily, and within a few moments, his red face calmed down.

"Interesting little guy...it seems like you have to work harder to bring out your potential..."
